Sausalito / Marin
SAN RAFAEL, SAUSALITO, TIBURON, LARKSPUR, PT. REYES, MILL VALLEY
Affluent bedroom communities and humble houseboat colonies, deeply rooted farmers and ranchers and cosmopolitan connoisseurs of sleek eateries and bars all provide Marin County, San Francisco’s near northern neighbor, its character. Marin’s human resources are matched by its natural features. The wind-whipped beauty of Point Reyes National Seashore, the hiking and cycling on Mount Tamalpias (“Mt. Tam’’) and the serene redwoods of Muir Woods offer a wide range of options. Tiburon, with its classic Main Street and central waterfront location is an ideal spot to refresh along the Bay. The pretty town of Sausalito spills down its hillside locale to Bridgeway, Sausalito’s main drag, with its fine dining, galleries, shopping, strolling, and picture-perfect views of San Francisco across the Bay.
